this poor house 😭 the bad ea builds honestly make me kinda sad. like we know the sims team are rushed and overworked and understaffed, and seeing a house from all the way back in 2014 having mismatched windows, knowing how rushed the sims 4's release was, it makes me feel bad for whoever was rushing to finish willow creek 😭😭😭

Kayla didn't only renovated ea's build but she did it TWICE in different ways... honestly, that is peak building and designing skills right there 👏🏻

kayla's ability to renovate ea's "worst" house every week but its always a different house needs to be studied

"1 window is very slightly out of place" Simsie: I MUST REBUILD IT ALL!!!!!

Low key always thought they did these kind of things to teach you how to play the game. Missing a toilet? Well you need one, so you might as well figure out how you add one. Weird window? Learn how to move it, etc etc etc.

I think this house would be cool to see as an upstairs/downstairs duplex since it has a double entry!

I feel like the developers do things like not level the windows on purpose to prompt players to enter build mode and interact more with the game...or maybe it's just a gross oversight. On a side note, after watching your party pack video I bought the pack and made an epic sunken pirate ship with a dungeon and used the hidden fog machines. Snaps for the ambiance.

I remember watching the first renovation of this house (I think I was in middle school at the time???? I'm in college now, so it's been a hot minute) but hearing Kayla complain about the uneven windows again brings me a sense of nostalgia

a bit off topic, but i think sometimes you should try something different from the floor plan you usually do. for example, everytime you can fit 2+ bedrooms you turn them into a kids/teen bedroom, but you could also make them music rooms, art studios, candle makers spaces, little cinemas, laundry room etc... i think sometimes making more houses with these different, but useful spaces could be really cool!!!

kayla, my dear, I hate seeing you suffer like that, so here's a little thing I do: put an alarm every couple minutes to remind you to save the game. It helped me so much before I bought a better computer. I started setting it to buzz every 5 minutes but it was SO bad I had to change it to buzz every 3 minutes. When I bought my new computer it became so much better, but it still crashed. So another tip for non-content creators: lower literally EVERY video screen setup on your game settings to minimum, it will be uglier and you won't be able to see much from afar, but it will be also not stressful to play. My game literally never crashed again after I changed the settings. Hope this helps my fellow simmers ❤❤

Omg the way i ran to this when i saw the thumbnail!!! I HATE this house. I have tried renovating this so many times. One was really good. I made it like an NOLA house with a room in the back for a crystal ball, etc. It was cute but it took me ages because i hate the house.

i love how cute you make the houses turn at the end especially if you think how it looked at the start...

Having a Sims poster in the Sims is like having a picture of the entire Universe irl haha

YES!!! I was hoping you're going to actually do that house after you pointed it out!!! I'm so happy ❤

4:48 "this is a complete mess! Why did they do that?" *looking at the most normal living room ever*

okay but I love both versions lmao yeah, objectively you can v2 is better than v1 when it comes to more rooms and etc, but I like the size of the bedrooms on v1 more (and the living room having the sofa turned to both the TV and the fireplace was nice)

I honestly wish you could set tables (or i guess chairs) to be for specific food just like how you can set sinks to be kitchen/bathroom/both. You coukd make a breakfastnook and make it for breakfast only, a dining table for dinner only, couch for takeout only, outdoor seats for grilled food. Added points if you can get an option for seasons to se the outdoor table to be the main table to eat at for every dinner in summer. That will never happen and it would probs a a pain in the ass to set all of the chairs for specific use but ohhh i would love it

these two windows on the front are such a disgrace 😂😂

the yellow & teal bedroom came together so well!

this house is giving lilsimsie 6 years ago in the best way possible i can just picture the screenshot tour at the end

The doors are inspiring me to make it a duplex.

I never knew this even existed 😭😭 They need to make more camel back houses!

She has called every house the worst house at this point lol but that aside, the videos themselves inspire me to try more builds.

Where is all my early fam?

One of the things I love doing whenever I play The Sims 4 is going into all the worlds and renovating all the empty houses.

piggy banks in toddler rooms isn’t weird! we have some in my nieces rooms too & when it gets a lot in it we go deposit into her bank account her mom has set up for her to use for a first car or college or stuff like that!

every time I put garden boxes in my builds, I say 'I'm gonna put a couple little planter boxes' to honour Kayla

The Pancakes have autonomously moved to this house in my game and I’m currently playing in it with them at the moment… it is abysmal!

Imo, one big bedroom is 100% better than 2 tiny bedrooms. Kayla always builds with kids rooms, but I mostly want to play with just one sim (or a couple). Just... make one normal sized bedroom instead of shrinking the whole house, making two closets and calling them bedrooms.

I've always liked that wonderful house in the base game to set on FIRE 🔥

Really love the newer layout. Tho I have used bedrooms to split up spaces before especially in some of the larger skinnier apartments and it can be pretty useful

I like both your versions. I have been trying to "fix" this house for ages. I really hate the look of the roof that covers the first floor, so I extended the second floor to get rid of it. The house is too big now, but at least it looks better from the outside. 😅

hi kayla! I love your videos and recently I've been binge watching your legacy challenge and my mom (non english speaker) hears them too and she referred to you as that "funny american screaming young lady" and honestly thay made me laugh lmao Anyways, I really hope you and your cat are better now, it seemed like you were having a hard time so don't forget to take a break sometimes 🩷 love from chile 🇨🇱

This place has always had a special place in my heart thank you for actually making it good lol

Kayla: "we're gonna try to do a budget build" Me: "she is not going to do a budget build"

I actually loved this reno and how good it is for gameplay! And thank you for filming the video TWICE just so we can have lilsimsie content

Hi Simsie! Been watching since a couple hundred thousand. Love love love your content, you keep me inspired!❤

From 12:35 all the way till 20:05, I couldn't stop staring at the open notification wall- Just insert the clip of the background fish in Spongebob screaming MY EYES-

This house would be interesting as a converted duplex 🤔

I actually love both builds and love hearing you walk us through the process

We the people say bring back fixer upper 😂❤

I really appreciate that you built this with only base game assets! Makes it so much more accessible❤❤

Wow! It turned out amazing. 🤩 so much better. I would be interested in you renovating an old ea house, but treating it like a shell challenge. So you can’t adjust the walls at all.

the camera quality is this vid is glorious kayla looks so pretty ❤

Wow, I loved seeing your two different builds!!! I'm sorry about your audio problems, but seeing your back to back attempts is really cool! Both really well done, I really love your second build. I am going to download this one for my legacy challenge :)

wait okay ngl i love the first floor of the first version more. but both are gorgeous it’s so impressive how u managed to renovate it TWICE and have them both be entirely unique

I turned this house into a Residential Rental recently since two doors in the front and the back!

i really love this as like communal housing. soooo cute

Honestly the two downstairs bedrooms are super cute for basegame

The desire for realism makes me put clocks everywhere! that and feng shui. I don't know why, but I give myself some real restrictions with that one. I could never put the dining table between the stairs and the front door. The struggle is real

both amazing! but the new one is legit one of my favs you’ve made

Kayla, 😂 you forgot the dishwasher and the inside trashcan, again. 😊 enjoy your vids.

i watched a video saying you were goin to renovate that house and i was waiting for this video thank you!!

4 minutes, im always working when simsie posts but this is awesome!

I am glad you renovated this build, this lot always gets my OCD triggered and going into overdrive--most EA builds do that. The one thing I really wished you would have done--imho--is take off one of those stairs from the front porch or make it one long stair. Having double stairs makes the lot look like it is a duplex--it also could be that now that we have the rent pack.

I love doing this kinda stuff!!! hahah this is a good one to do !

I'd love to see you do a house in this style with the rent pack!

I watch you that loong to know that someday in the past you've already renovated this house 😂❤ Still love it! ❤

This was the first house I test-played in years ago, upgrading it as well.😅 But I'm amazed by both of your versions, which have totally different vibes to them.❤

I've used this house a few times, and the uneven windows always make me feel crazy. Some things about this house are very cool in concept, though, so I like using it, but it needs work for sure! Unrelated, but you look really pretty in this video! You look very glowy and your makeup looks v nice.

you should do a series where you renovate sims 2 and 3 houses

do to personal reasons im no longer able to watch sims content without feeling nauseous. but before i take my official break from sims content for the foreseeable future i just wanted to say i loved your content when i was able to watch. youre so funny and kind (and pretty :))) and i truly appreciate your content. when i am able to come back your channel will be the first i resubscribe too

I too am a base game only player. I only downloaded it recently as a recommendation from my younger sister. I have also been redoing the base game houses. I am now on Newcrest. The thing is: I have downloaded houses because I am not good at making them myself. For Newcrest, I recently added a cafe towards the back of the land space.

I have found myself doing this lately - just going in and remodeling the base game houses. I'm trying to build my ultimate save file so I can combine all of my families into one game.

I haven’t watched the video yet but I’m glad you’re redoing that one cause one of my sims lives there and 😭 he isn’t the heir so I don’t play with him, it’s just the fact that it’s so.. dark (lighting) w/only 2 bedrooms & wasted space

Kayla saw the windows were uneven when she was testing the kit with Stanley the other day and has been bothered ever since 😂

so close to 2M !! congrats!

More inspiration videos from lilsimsie. Let's gooooo!

14:40 I’ve never seen this Dino rug!!! I am going to use this the next time I make a kids room!

Idk if your eyebrows always look like this but I was just stuck by how AMAZING they look

as for the crashes: my mom as a similar issue with her pc, and weve seen it started with faulty ram memory. when we changed the ram, we managed to fix the issue for a good three years. it's come up every once in a while recently, but such a dumb small thing was killing her pc off. if not, it may be your graphics card (it died on me one too many times before i realised it either changing it or having windows get uninstalled). hope these tips work and your pc stops bugging you out soon💕

I'm surprised you kept both front doors actually. I would have gotten rid of one and used the extra space on the porch for a cute bench or something

This would’ve been a good opportunity to use the rent pack. That would explain the double doors on the front.

The thing that always bothered me about this house is the two front doors and the two sets of steps to the porch. I always remove one set to make it look normal.

12:42 This poster is based on a promotional video for Get to Work that EA made :D

Love your videos!!

"I made it a little too old school fancy in the last one." She said as she placed the most old school looking painting lol

That bed is Vangohs paintings. His most popular ones which is why I’m confused no one thinks that’s cooler. The red swatch is inspired from his bedroom painting, the yellow is his sunflowers and the blue is the starry night.

Almost 2 MILLION subs Simsie!!!

Wow I love this! 😍😍😍

Definitely liked the version made in this video better - though they are both really cute 🫶🏻🩷

Thats so cool, I just renovated that myself!

Almost to 2 million! 🎉

You could try to build a house inspired by the scandinavian style of house!🤩

I hate this house so much 😭😭 Those windows from the upstairs are not only at different heights but they also make it look like a face and it weirds me out so bad 😭 This was also one of the very first houses I ever tried to renovate so I’m just traumatized from it 💔💔

12:50 I think maybe the movie poster is a play on the 80s movie “Mannequin” which is about this girl who is a mannequin but comes to life around this man and freezes back into a mannequin when anyone else is looking at her and they fall in love. It’s an interesting movie 😅

"I'm trying not to use too much blue" 2 minutes later makes every bathroom blue 😂 I honestly love the blue though

first, love that you know what these houses are called. secondly, I NEVER NOTICED THE WINDOWS AND I AM APPALLED

with the two entry doors one could do it as a rental maybe, should be a pretty easy conversion

Kayla you should do a build where you HAVE to try and use that awful basegame magenta.

I buy planters so I can buy fruit/veg seeds and then once I’ve opened the packet of seeds I move them to my toddlers inventory. No more toddlers complaining that they’re hungry! And no more arguing with the high chair!

@lilsimsie You should still use that video and have Dan voice it over trying to figure out what you're doing and saying 😂😂

I know apartments are kinda meh since 4 Rent is buggy, but I’d love to see Simsie try to renovate this into narrow apartments using those double front doors

TS4 base game yellow gives nicotine vibes. Like, smokers living room ceiling energy. Lol

the house was originally so big because I think they were going for that NOLA duplex style with an apartment on top, so the extra space was needed, but the problem was that we didn’t have the ability to build functional duplexes when the game came out so I have no idea why they did that lmaoooo

Just wanted to stop in and say I love your builds so much!!! I was also wondering what the most current version of the simsie save file is? And where can I download it?

I remember the first time I played the sims and my sims had this house. I was about 11 years old and tried to renovate it. Do you know how crazy it is for a 11 year old girl to think “wow this house is shaped kind of awkward” I did enjoy the challenge of fixing it tho. Point is, if 11 year old me could see obvious issues with this build .. how did EA think this was okay?

i used this house for my favourite household I always play with. renovated it to look amazing over time only for it to break and I had to place a different house on the lot bc even when I moved the house to a different lot my sims still refused to use anything in the house. it was so heartbreaking bc I was so attached it since I spent so much time on it and it was my favourite played household lot. rip my personal riverside roost😔😔

I did not realize that house had a yellow color on the outside🤣

will lilsimsie make a 2million dollar house for 2million subs?
